Well as 2009 comes to end Jeremy and I are hoping maybe 2010 will be a bit calmer. Well after Joey gets home til then we know the way to Mercy Hospital very well! In 2009 we lost Jeremy's dad Joe. Things just haven't been the same since.
We are very fortunate to have our little Joey. The Nurses and Dr.'s have told us that he was very sick when he was born. They told us his body was shutting down because he couldn't fight the infection and that he is very lucky to still be here. He has made great progress. He is eating milk and LOVES IT!!! We say he has Grandpa Roebrt's belly!!! HE was able to get off of his IV's and get his pic line removed ( it went from his foot to his belly button). So now all he has on him is vapotherm, to help him breathe. He has started having a few apnea spells, but we expected that because Jacob had tons of them. He finally got to wear clothes last night!! So of course mom had to go shopping!!
Jacob and I have to go back to school tomorrow, so we will start driving up to Des Moines in the evenings. There will be some late nights but it will be worth it!!! Here are some new picturs of Joey!
My name is also "Joey Novak", I googled my name the other day and found your post. The one right after Joey was born. I'm glad he made it and is out of the woods! Congratulations!
